“…and to implement educational policies that address the expectations of society and support pluralism (Acar-Çiftçi & Aydın, 2014). One of the main aims of education for a multicultural society is to increase the awareness of young people about cultural differences and to help them see cultural differences as a natural part of life (Özgen & Köşker, 2019). Therefore, the necessity of education in order to gain the perception that differences enrich society and to ensure harmony and integration by increasing inter-cultural interactions is indisputable.…”

This study aims to determine trends in research on multicultural education in Turkish and Eric databases, to compare and to discuss them. Within the scope of the study, research on multicultural education in the International Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) and ULAKBİM TR Index (Turkey National Academic Network and Information Center) databases were included. In the study, 308 articles reached in ERIC database and 60 articles in ULAKBİM database were analyzed using content analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there has been an increase in multicultural education publications in ULAKBİM TR Index since 2015 and a decrease in the ERIC database. In Turkey, it is seen that there is a tendency to determine attitudes, perceptions and opinions towards multicultural education with larger sample groups; nevertheless, there is a tendency to multicultural education practices and experiences with smaller groups in the ERIC database.

The current study investigated the multiculturality attitudes of high school students using the Multiculturality Attitude Scale. The determination of the dynamics affecting students' multiculturality attitudes will provide opportunities for reconstructing the educational settings accordingly. The sample of the study was 2237 students from 24 high schools from 14 provincial centres in 7 geographical regions of Turkey. The data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics. The analyses examined the relationships between the multiculturality attitudes of the students and their gender, class level, family income status, education level of the parents, and the geographic region of residence. The findings indicated significant differences between all dimensions of the scale (i.e., anxiety, richness, tolerance, threat, and discrimination) and the variables of the study. The findings indicated that the female students' attitude mean scores were more positive than those of the male students. Students in Central Anatolia, Southeastern Anatolia, and Marmara regions had higher attitude scores than students from other regions. As students' family income level increases, they regard multiculturality as a threat (ethnicity-based). Students whose parents have a high level of education regard multiculturality as a threat (ethnicity-based). In order to minimize these negative attitudes towards multiculturality in the society, people's awareness of different life practices by various groups within a country or community offers richness that should be recognized. To achieve this, the regulation of educational experiences considering cultural diversity and normalizing transitions, the differences in the educational institutions that serve as foundation in the society-building process are of the utmost importance.

Bir arada yaşama kültürüne yönelik sosyopolitik arayışlar insanlığın uzlaşı çabalarının temel dürtüsünü oluşturmuştur. Yüzyıllardır siyasal hegemonyaya mevzu kılınmayan topluluklar, doğal kültürel aidiyetlerine göre özgür bir şekilde birlikte yaşama becerisi gösterebilmiştir. Fakat özellikle uluslaşma sürecinde çokkültürlü gruplar türdeş çoğunluğun lehine yok sayılmıştır. Sindirilen ve asimile edilen farklılıklar, kültürel haklarının temsilini gerçekleştirebilmek amacıyla çokkültürcülük kimlik siyasetinin şemsiyesine sığınarak tanınma mücadelesi vermiştir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın temel amacı, seküler ulus devlet yapısallığı karşıtlığında Müslümanların kültürel taleplerini kamusal alanda temsil etmeye çalışan Millî Görüş Hareketi’nin kültürel çoğulculuk yaklaşımını analiz etmektir. Millî Görüş Hareketi’nin Medine Vesikası tarihsel referansları üzerinden ele aldığı ve bir arada yaşamanın temel sözleşmesi olarak ortaya koyduğu çok hukukluluk siyasal sözleşmesi eleştirel perspektifte değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca Millî Görüş’ün sahici ve demokratik bir siyasal sözleşme sunup sunmadığı kronopolitik bir mercek ile ele alınmıştır.
